TRAVIS RICE TO COMPETE IN FREERIDE WORLD TOUR 2019 FIRST STOP IN HAKUBA, JAPAN

After blowing minds with his first place finish at the Freeride World Qualifiers (FWQ) 4* in 2017, freeride legend, Travis Rice (USA) will return to Hakuba once again to challenge the world’s best at stop number one of FWT19.

“ Really looking forward to competing in Hakuba this January with the best line up of Riders to date and an event venue that provides endless opportunity for expression! Honored to get a wild card, as for me, it’s the perfect way to kick the real winter season off in a place that leaves any free-rider wide eyes and inspired. Most places we say Pray for snow.. Here we will pray for Sun” — Travis Rice

With Rice’s addition to the already extremely talented list of athletes competing in Hakuba, including three time world champion, Sammy Luebke (USA), the riding level promises to be incredibly high at the Freeride World Tour season debut.
